Chapter 573: Conversation with the Military
For a long time, Tilan has intentionally or unintentionally avoided in-depth negotiations and binding with those big forces, because in the past she didn't want to get involved in the disputes of interest disputes. Although this would also make her lack of help and unable to obtain the rich resources like other singers, she didn't care.
This behavior habit continued until not long ago.
"So, is Tilan going to meet the other party this time?" In the room, Dolores stood behind the girl, helping her comb her hair and checking the corners of her clothes.
"Well, after all, they are really sincere and have always let me be. I didn't force them too much. I didn't know if they would be angry if they agreed after dragging it out for so long." Tilan looked at the girl in the mirror and blinked. Under her slender eyelashes were beautiful and spiritual eyes. Just looking at them seemed to contain thousands of words, which made people a little obsessed.
Looking at her black and white dress with rose pleats, Tilan raised her hands and showed them in the mirror.
"I always feel that this is a bit... Should I dress more mature?" She turned her head and looked at Dolores behind her.
Although the two are the same age, Dolores looks like her elder sister. After all, she is the eldest daughter of a luxury brand company. Dolores has a good taste and demeanor in dressing, and her well-developed figure also sets off this point.
"It's okay, it looks better this way." Dolores encouraged the girl.
"If Tilan insists on learning that kind of mature, formal, and neutral dress, it will look out of place. What kind of temperament and appearance should be matched with matching clothes, and try to show your own characteristics, so that it will look good." "
Blindly following the trend and wearing clothes that don't match your temperament will look inconsistent and awkward and inappropriate no matter how good the design is." Dolores said from experience.
"There are many kinds of beauty. Choose the one that suits you and is comfortable."
After helping Tilan comb her long hair, Dolores chose a thin white ribbon to help Tilan tie her hair, and then pinned a blue rose hairpin, letting the rose fall symmetrically in the center of the back of her head.
"In the future, when Tilan attends formal occasions, she should try to choose a dress of the same style, such as a dress decorated in blue or black that matches your name."
"Why is that?"
"Political propaganda is different from entertainment stars. Entertainment stars naturally wear a variety of new clothes to bring a sense of freshness, but politics involves very serious and realistic things. If you change your style every day, you will appear unstable, which will make people worry and feel anxious, and reduce your sense of security."
"In addition, dressing in a uniform style can also make your image easier to remember. Basically, as long as you see blue and black roses, you can think of you, and then you will succeed." Dolores's talent in practicing the extraordinary sequence is not top-notch, but because of her background and childhood experiences, she is very familiar with these political and business matters.
"I know." The girl nodded.
In the afternoon, Tilan met the retired Tatis couple. The two are now in their fifties and run a small shop together on a small residential planet in the Kemu star field.
The contact was gradual and at the same time smooth without causing any accidents. This time, Tilan came to meet them by participating in a public welfare project to care for the elderly and children.
"Welcome, Miss Tilan." The couple was not actually very old. It had only been a few years since they retired from the army. They both looked quite healthy and energetic.
This was a dessert shop in a small town with pleasant scenery. A small number of cattle and sheep were raised locally to add vitality to the environment and produce some milk and meat for local residents.
When Tilan came, it was just her and Dolores. The town was located on an open plain. Even if the plainclothes officers from the Tribunal came, there would not be many people and fanfare. With the help of the pre-set time difference, Tilan could get a safe communication time for the meeting.
Sitting in the backyard of the dessert house, at a small table under a parasol, Tilan and Dolores sat opposite the couple and listened to them talk about their lives.
"I served in the Lansha Star Region in the outer sea before. The population of the Federation there is very small, and the main danger is the unstable space environment. The Lansha Star Region is only safe for one month every two years to transport necessary supplies." Tatis, as her husband, said.
"Working there is rather boring, because of the local space environment, and it is often impossible to contact the internal star network of the Federation."
"How did such a place come about?" Tilan asked.
"Of course, this is the result of past wars." The other party quickly answered.
"In the past, that was the star region where the Dark Sun Hefashimo was located. Among the Dark Suns at the end of the Fifth Era, he was quite powerful. When he died in battle, it caused a violent space shock, and because Hefashimo was torn apart, not because his tribe was extinguished, he still retained extremely strong power when he died, which caused serious sequelae."
"In that place, if you ascend to the Sea of Ekaka, there will be great risks. For this reason, many superluminal starships are restricted from entering and exiting, and can only use the more primitive type of curvature space engine." Tatis described the area where they served together.
"The reason why the Federation still cares about such a place is that it was once a prosperous world where Hefasim and its 'Cicada Wing Species' lived. There are many legacies of that era, such as the records and technologies left by the Cicada Wing Species."
"For this reason, many archaeological teams and explorers gathered there in the past. The special technical patents unearthed there later spawned two giant companies, the 'Light Cicada Prism' and the 'Bright Wing Seal'. They respectively mastered the secret method of making special glass and the method of light-burning space marking. The former is used in the manufacture of many observation instruments, and the latter is a method of determining one's own position and locking onto the target position during superluminal space travel."
The two talked about their past experiences serving in the Lansha star field and the technological heritage left behind after the demise of the 'Cicada Wing Species'.
"After more than 1,000 years of excavation and development, these heritage sites have been almost completely explored. Only a small number of people are stationed there to prevent them from being used as nests by some illegal organizations because they are vacant."
"After saying so much, Miss Tilan, are you a little confused as to why we emphasize this?"
"Because these are our personal experiences, not lies or exaggerations. In fact, although the Federation has been established for nearly 1,600 years, the hidden dangers of the Dark Sun have not completely disappeared. There are still people secretly studying related technologies and looking for possible ways to reproduce them."
"In the Lansha star field, we often catch these kinds of smuggled starships supported by ambitious people. Most of them are desperadoes and are extremely aggressive."
"In the past, these hidden dangers would not cause any trouble or show up under the strong suppression of the Federation. But in this era, many people are obsessed with profit and are eager to seek powerful forces. Although history has left warnings, greed and ambition cannot be stopped."
"As a singer, I believe that you should know more about the current situation within the Federation than we do. It's not that good." No, I don't know that much, the girl complained secretly in her heart.
"The divide between the rich and the poor in society has led to a lot of grievances accumulating, and even cults have begun to appear in some places. Different from the rational and slightly restrained orthodox religions, these cults take advantage of people's inner emptiness and helplessness, peddling the so-called 'heaven after death', making the soul become an 'angel', saying that this can free them from the suffering of reality, and thus have gained the support of many people."
"The poorer the place, the more likely it is to give birth to such anesthetic and inflammatory religions."
"Although these 'cults' have existed in the past, they have never been popular. After all, this is not ancient times, an era when the power of gods truly existed. Even if they are liars, it is difficult to convince people if they do not have powerful strength.
" "But things have been different in recent years. According to some intelligence, the leaders of some 'cults' have become significantly stronger, and some have even used more primitive 'consciousness resonance' abilities."
Tilan listened and nodded slightly, but soon remembered the matter about the 'connector' Alana, and wondered if this counted as one of them.
"These technologies did not come out of thin air. According to interrogation and research, this type of technology is likely to come from the legacy of a dark sun."
"Logically, this should be an area that the 'Inquisition' should focus on." Tilan was curious why a military officer came to tell her.
"That's right, but the Inquisition is currently in a serious internal struggle." The military's secret line liaison officer said the shocking news.
"Internal struggle in the Inquisition?" Tilan opened her mouth slightly.
"Yes, Miss Tilan usually interacts with people from the Songstress Supervision Department. There are not many of them, and too many people are paying attention to the Songstress area, so they dare not extend the struggle to this area."
"But in other areas, it's not like that."
"The Inquisition has three main responsibilities. The first is to eliminate the troubles left by the Fifth Season, such as the extra-curricular 'new race', the possible Dark Sun Cult, illegal research organizations, very special supernatural phenomena, and so on."
"The second is to monitor officials and official agencies within the Federation to ensure integrity and fairness. This part has the largest number of people and the most complicated situation."
"The third is the maintenance of major security and order, which includes protecting Songstresses, extremely important political figures, on-site security of large-scale events, the stable order of the Aijiaka network, the arrest and killing of extremely bad criminals, and so on."
"No one likes to have a sword hanging over their head, and everyone likes to use this hanging sword to strike opponents and enemies. Therefore, even if the Inquisition has iron laws, it still cannot stop all kinds of people with strong interests from knocking on the door and infiltrating again and again. It can only be said that compared with other corrupt functional departments, the Inquisition still has a bottom line."
"The most dangerous enemies often come from within, and the Inquisition is the same. In order to prevent the corruption and degeneration of its own personnel, they have extremely terrifying self-disciplined troops within. These people have sworn in front of the remains of Her Highness Emuralin that they will use their will and strength for the rest of their lives to uphold her will and wishes and protect this country."
"These personnel have undergone special transformations. Although their sequence level will no longer increase, they have extremely strong combat capabilities and are equipped with many dangerous weapons and props. They are very familiar with the personnel structure within the Inquisition and are extremely familiar with the combat capabilities within the Inquisition. In addition, their faces are printed with masks that they will never take off. It can be said that they have become some kind of 'inhuman' existence." "
The existence of such a team has always intimidated the personnel within the Inquisition and ensured that the Inquisition has not deteriorated for nearly four hundred years."
"However, just two months ago, we received news that a bloody conflict broke out within the Inquisition. Two elite self-disciplined units belonging to the Inquisition clashed with each other, and as many as 13 Sequence 7 backbones died. This is an extremely serious internal struggle, and it can even be described as shocking." "
It is foreseeable that the Inquisition will fall into considerable chaos in the future. As a result, the Inquisition's control over the originally chaotic situation will be weakened, and hidden forces from all sides will emerge. No one can guarantee that they will be able to remain unscathed in the future."
"Although our military has strong military strength, has obtained some intelligence, and can foresee many things that are about to happen, we are also the group most restricted by federal rules. Any fleet mobilization and personnel replacement will attract the scrutiny and questioning of the parliament."
"In order to prevent something too passive from happening, we need a third-party singer like Miss Tilan to speak up in the parliament as an ally and helper to block possible unfavorable choices."
The other party was afraid that Tilan was too young to understand some profound and obscure hints, so he spoke more bluntly. It must be said that if such words were heard and recorded by the court of inquiry, it would inevitably be a serious crime.
Businesses, politicians, religions, and personnel from these forces or organizations can easily contact singers and carry out a certain degree of cooperation, such as joint business activities, canvassing, public welfare propaganda, etc., but it is strictly forbidden for the army to contact singers.
If one side already has military power and has the support of civilian reputation, wouldn't it be easy to become independent? A similar incident happened in the civil war four hundred years ago. The singer directly joined forces with the local fleet to override the official.
Although the winner is also Amy Larin, a local singer, her successor will not want future generations to imitate their path, so he decisively blocked it.
After listening to the other party's narration, Tilan began to think. In fact, she had a good impression of Arnansha and a group of military industrial groups. After all, this group was outside the independent system and was less polluted.
It also benefited from the Federal Parliament's precautions against the military, including not allowing the military to conduct additional propaganda, not allowing commercial activities, not allowing financial transactions with any enterprises, etc., which to some extent also ensured a relatively pure atmosphere within the military.
There were so many powerful military industrial enterprises in the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. As soon as the war ended, they were immediately split up by the federal officials and relocated to different star regions to avoid the formation of a group of interest organizations. This was also the main reason why the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region could not afford to fall after the war.
Time passed quietly. Dolores next to Tilan drank coffee slowly. She and the couple opposite did not urge her, and quietly waited for the decision of the young singer.
About ten minutes later, Tilan looked up, blinked her eyes, and the voice sounded in their minds.
"I promise to provide you with some support and help, but when necessary, I also hope to get your help."
